In the 2005–06 season he was the leading rebounder in the Greek League. This was the main reason why he was acquired by Aris, one of the top 3 teams in the Greek League, prior to the 2006–07 season.

In January 2010, his contract with Real Madrid was terminated by the club under mutual consent, and in February 2010, Massey signed for Obradoiro CAB, to replace Marc Jackson after his retirement. On May 14, 2010, he parted ways with Obradoiro.

In August 2010, he signed a one-year contract with the Russian team PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban. On July 28, 2011, he re-signed with Lokomotiv for one more season. He was named to the All-EuroCup Second Team in 2012. In the summer of 2012, after club decided not to extend his contract, he became a free agent.
